We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic individual who can work collaboratively as a member of the school team to help pupils meet their educational, care and welfare needs, ensuring those with intensive and complex and/or a high level of language support needs can effectively access the curriculum. The successful candidate will work directly with parents of pupils to provide advice and give feedback on matters relating to their child and must be flexible and provide support and assistance in the day-to-day operations of the school as directed by the school leadership team.

Craigentinny Primary school is a fun, exciting and nurturing place to learn. We pride ourselves on our welcoming, happy and respectful ethos which promotes inclusion, celebrates diversity and where all children are valued. We support our children to reach their full potential and know they can achieve anything they want.

You will be required to provide this check. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of both these pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.
